POS V6 Mustang: 0; Me: 1

[white4d96]

The other night my girlfriend and I decided to go into town to see a movie. As we waited at a stoplight in my Prix, I hear this godawful racket behind me. Look left, and a Wal-Mart flat black '90's Mustang pulls up, with two redneck kids behind the wheel and what sounded like the 'cut-the-hell-off' exhaust job. They started revving and acting cool. Over their crappy exhaust nobody could hear me stalling the converter of my 3100 to 2k.

The light turned green and I eased off the brake to limit wheelspin (so as to not alert my significant other sitting shotgun to what was happening.) As such, they got the jump. Then my converter caught and the rpms started to climb, as the Mustang faded to two lights behind me. Defeated, he slinked off a side street. Definitely one of my favorite kills so far.

heh, the V6 mustangs were a joke until ~ 3 years a go i think.... barely made 200HP.

[white4d96]

I'll believe it. Still fun embarrassing some punk kids though.

Not to mention I needed the excuse to hear my intake and exhaust =P

[Addicted to eaton]

so was it really a race? lol

[white4d96]

Yes and no. He punched it and went, and I just sorta chased him down and put him in his place.

Hell they barely made 150hp in the 90's. Even the GT v8 (5.0 or 4.6) only made 215hp, same as an LQ1.

Just as well they only made 215, the crummy live axle setup on the Mustangs meant severe wheel hop and traction problems when you launched it hard. I used to have lots of fun beating them red light to red light in my old Galaxie. With over 6 feet of overhang beyond the rear axle, traction wasn't a problem on the Galaxie. I broke several motor mounts over the years making that point.

I sure as hell wouldn't mess with any 5.0/4.6 if I was driving an LQ1 w-body, let alone one with a 3100....

[RobertISaar]

mmm...... i think a LQ1 at speed would at least put up a fight compared to either. the massive low-rpm torque and traction advantages are taken away completely by 50MPH or so.

stock for stock possibly....but when is the last time you ran into a stock 5.0 mustang??

[RobertISaar]

true.

the SBF market is more than ridiculous.

[LuminaPower92]

That being said, i do love the fox body mustang.

[white4d96]

I love me a 5.0. They're cheap and have lots of potential. Although I wouldn't mind having a 4.6(?) with that big Kenne Bell blower on it. Those things sound killer.

[birdman]

All this ford talk is making my dick soft.

[RobertISaar]

you....... can't fap to this?
